Question 984002
<pre>
We find its logarithm base 10, which we have access to on most every calculator,
whether graphing or only scientific.

{{{log(10,2^1000)= 1000log(10,2) = 1000(0.3010299957) = 301.02999566398}}}

That means that 2<sup>1000</sup> is approximately equal to 10<sup>301.0299957</sup>

Then 10<sup>301.02999566398</sup> = 10<sup>301</sup>10<sup>0.02999566398</sup> = 10<sup>301</sup>(1.0715086071833) = 

1.0715086071833 × 10<sup>301</sup>.

That's the scientific notation for 2<sup>1000</sup>
If we moved the decimal 301 places to the right the number would have 302
digits.
